Declare Independence (Mark Stent instrumental) Songtext
von Björk

Declare independence
Don′t let them do that to you
Declare independence
Don't let them do that to you

Justice

Declare independence
Don′t let them do that to you
Declare independence
Don't let them do that to you

Justice

Start your own currency
Make your own stamp
Protect your language

Justice

Declare independence
Don't let them do that to you
Declare independence
Don′t let them do that to you


Make your own flag
Make your own flag
Make your own flag
Make your own flag

Raise your flag (higher, higher)
Raise your flag (higher, higher)
Raise your flag (higher, higher)
Raise your flag (higher, higher)
Raise your flag (higher, higher)
Raise your flag (higher, higher)

Declare independence
Don′t let them do that to you
Declare independence
Don't let them do that to you

(Damn colonists) damn colonists
(Ignore their patronizing) ignore their patronizing
(Ignore their patronizing) tear off their blindfolds
(Tear off their blindfolds) open their eyes

Declare independence
Don′t let them do that to you
Declare independence
Don't let them do that to you


With a flag and a trumpet
Go to the top of your highest mountain
And raise your flag (higher, higher)
Raise your flag (higher, higher)
Raise your flag (higher, higher)
Raise your flag (higher, higher)
Raise your flag (higher, higher)
Raise your flag (higher, higher)

Declare independence
Don′t let them do that to you
Declare independence
Don't let them do that to you

Raise the flag
